The Illinois Education Association (IEA) says most educators in the state are leaving their jobs due to financial issues, according to a statewide survey conducted by the organization.
I’m hearing from teachers who say that kids are getting more disrespectful. Is that for real? What’s the evidence? The most common complaint now reported by teachers is not low pay, or nasty parents, or difficult school administrators, but students: rude, out-of-control, disrespectful students. Teachers now report an increased unwillingness by students to obey their rules — causing many educators to reconsider their places in American classrooms.
No disciplinary action of any kind was taken against the boy, neither after this episode nor after any of the other similar previous episodes.Neatly half of all teachers now say the stress of their jobs is no longer “worth it,” with disobedient students much of the reasons why.“He can’t help it, he’s on the spectrum,” the parents say, and the school does nothing. This teacher is not even persuaded that this boy is truly on the autism spectrum. She thinks he enjoys inflicting pain on others.
American popular culture, the culture experienced by American children and teens, the culture they get from the most popular songs, the culture they get on TikTok, has rapidly become a culture of disrespect. In his new book “What This Comedian Said Will Shock You,” Bill Maher observes that young people are beautiful, but stupid. Old people are ugly, but more likely to be wise.
I can share great stories of boys on Blue Team and Green Team and Black Team who love football and video games who have also come to love Emily Dickinson and spelling bees, who get a buzz out of winning for their team. It can be done.Bill Maher observes that young people are beautiful, but stupid, and that old people are ugly, but more likely to be wise.And it doesn’t cost anything. But it does require courage on the part of teachers, parents and school leaders.
